It started about a week ago with somebody asking us if we were going to be open on Thanksgiving. Our reply was of course we are! This being from spending a number of years in a different place where you don't know hardly anybody and for the holidays, what would one do but of course head down to your favorite pub for the day off. With this, often times the establishment would have some type of pot luck or other food specials, making the holiday a fun time for what otherwise could have a bit of a drag. So, continuing in that tradition and one thing leading to another with the original Thanksgiving question and discussion and presto, we have Friendsgiving. Anyone is welcome to come down, have some amazing food and have a great time.

The Details

As the cold, snowy winter starts sinking its teeth into Northern Minnesota, ​what better way to stay warm than with a bottle or 6-pack of your favorite Loony's Brew beer! To help with the purchase, we've made a few changes to dramatically lower both the product and shipping costs.

Lower Costs

Product: For product costs, we've changed from the metal flip top caps to a normal bottle cap style, cutting the cost of the bottles by about 75%. These are 750 ml bottles, about 25 ounces, or the same size as a normal wine bottle, a perfect size for yourself or sharing with one or two people.

​Shipping: This has been reduced by working directly with the shipping carrier versus previously we had used an intermediary, saving about 50% on the shipping costs. The shipping costs include an age verification charge from the shipping carrier.

Brews Now Available for ShippingEnjoy a wide variety of different styles to quench your thirst.

Starting this week, you can get 50% off any growlers or refills on Monday through Friday from 12-4pm.

​Some FAQs on this incredible deal:

Why are we doing this? A few reasons but the biggest is we're in the process of launching a massive wave of new beers that will continue through winter. This is coming from the installation of a new walk-in cooler that will theoretically support up to 42 different beers. Now, this is quite a few different beers and to encourage people to try them out and share with friends and family, we're offering this extra special deal to help get things moving a bit.

Why only Monday through Friday in the afternoon? We understand that living at the end of Ranier, it's a bit out of the way for most people's weekly shopping activities and the special is a little extra incentive to make the trip. Of course, while you're here you're more than welcome to try out a flight of samples, maybe even a pint or two, to help decide what to bring home.

How long will it last? Hard to say but basically until we release all the new beers and we feel they're up and running without any extra help.
